Non-Men's Tournaments

The goal of this page is to recognize winners of women's tournaments and track these results in a central location across the game.

About women's tournaments: Women's tournaments have many benefits when run in a professional, inclusive and respectful manner. They provide a networking opportunity for building the community of women fighters. They allow newer players, or those new to tournaments, an avenue to practice competing in a friendly environment and perhaps build confidence for larger open tournaments. They allow women to compete among each other, in line with most mainstream sports up to the Olympics.

A note on best practices: Recent women's tournaments have followed several practices to be successful.

• Inclusive: All interested women and female-identifying players are welcome to participate.
• Respectful: In the past, some "women's tournaments" have allowed men to enter dressed in drag, encouraged cat-calling from spectators, and generally treated the event as a joke. Modern events avoid these practices and respect all participants.
• Properly scheduled: A women's tournament should be scheduled at times that do not conflict with an open tournament, so that eligible players may fight in both.
• Professional: As in any tournament, strong reeving and clear expectations encourage good communication and honorable fighting.
